Introducing Good Morning baby foods from Beech-Nut®. Delicious foods specially made to give babies the perfect start to their day.
A Healthy Breakfast is Essential
Babies grow and learn faster during the first two years than at any other time of life. So a good breakfast is very important. A good breakfast helps babies in this important developmental stage by providing energy and a solid nutritional basis for the rest of the day. That’s why Beech-Nut created Good Morning baby foods, recipes made just for breakfast.
The Right Balance of Nutrients
A good breakfast should have a healthy balance of carbohydrates from whole grain, protein, vitamins, minerals and no added sugar. And, a good breakfast provides a slower and steadier release of energy to help keep your baby satisfied, alert and happy.
Energy to Explore
Because babies are exploring their world and learning so fast, they need plenty of energy. Carbohydrates are your baby’s major energy source. However, not all carbohydrates provide long-lasting energy. Simple carbohydrates, like sugar and refined flours, have a high glycemic index. A high glycemic index means that your baby gets a rush of energy that quickly disappears. Your baby has less energy and is hungry again.
Complex carbohydrates like those in oats and oat bran, which are good sources of soluble fiber, have a lower glycemic index and are slowly absorbed by your baby. A meal with soluble fiber provides a steady supply of energy over a longer period of time so your baby does not get hungry as quickly. A good breakfast with complex carbohydrates and soluble fiber combined with other healthy eating habits may also help to reduce the chance of developing obesity later in life.
Nutrition to Learn
A good breakfast promotes good learning. A good breakfast is associated with better attention span, concentration, word recall and memory – all essential to good learning.
Each Good Morning baby food provides your baby with the carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals needed to grow healthy and strong. Now it’s easier for you to provide your baby with a good, nutritious breakfast with Beech-Nut Good Morning baby foods.
